Anatomical context of Buthionine

  • Administration of the glutathione monoester (but not of glutathione) prevented the marked decline of mitochondrial glutathione produced by buthionine sulfoximine in skeletal muscle and increased the level of glutathione in heart mitochondria to values higher than the controls [20].
  • Prevention of the activation induced GSH increase by buthionine sulfoximine, a cell permeable inhibitor of GSH biosynthesis, restored Fas responsiveness in activated neutrophils, an effect that could be blocked with exogenous GSH [21].
  • Pretreatment of 9L cells with 50 microM buthionine sulfoximine for 24 h to deplete GSH only slightly potentiated BCNU cytotoxicity in a clonogenic assay whereas that of nitrogen mustard was markedly potentiated in both cell lines [17].
  • In rats receiving continuous GSH infusion, treatment with buthionine sulfoximine starting day - 2 decreased sinusoidal endothelial cell GSH and attenuated the protective effect of GSH against monocrotaline [22].
  • The half-life of GSH in buthionine sulfoximine-treated C. parvum-elicited macrophages was 3.8 +/- 0.2 h while resting and 1.3 +/- 0.2 h during phagocytosis [23].

Gene context of Buthionine

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Buthionine

  • Buthionine sulfoximine was also shown to be capable of producing drastic depletion of GSH in human colon cancer grown as xenografts in athymic animals [34].
  • Good agreement between the two assays was observed for the rodent lines following depletion of GSH by buthionine sulfoximine, but the level of GSH depletion achieved in the human and monkey lines was always underestimated by MBCl/flow cytometry [35].
  • The goal of this study was to compare the photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) free and bound to 1-micron-diameter microspheres (MS) for phototoxicity, uptake and efflux characteristics, phagocytosis rates in malignant and benign cells, and effects of NaN3, D2O, and buthionine sulfoximine on phototoxic efficacy [36].
  • Both buthionine sulfoximine and BCNU inhibited the induction of iNOS mRNA, as detected by Northern blot analysis [37].
  • Counts of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive neurons verified enhancement of cell loss by buthionine sulfoxamine plus malonate and protection against cell loss by the spin-trapping agents [38].
